Dear Brothers and Sisters, This article comes to you while we all still in the season of Lent. I do hope your journey through the remainder of Lent and through Holy Week will bring Easter Joy and many blessings to each and every one. I would like to share with you at this time the prayer I have been using during lent. When we get to Holy week I will be using Will I give Him my best? When I was a young girl many, many years ago Easter was given so much more significance than it is now. Even though Spring Cleaning had just occurred, the house was still scrubbed from top to bottom, curtains starched and ironed. The dining room table was set with the real cloth tablecloth and Mom’s best dishes. Even the card table for the kids looked better than most any other day. The house even smelled like Easter….all those lilies and hyacinths. We all had new outfits – “from the skin out” as my mother always Our Father most holy: Our Creator, Redeemer, Consoler, and Savior… You, Lord, are Supreme Good, the eternal Good, from Whom all good comes… Holy be your Name…That You may rule in us through Your grace… Your will be done…that we may love You…with our whole heart…soul…and mind… Give us this day…Your own beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Forgive us…through Your ineffable mercy…and make us, Lord, forgive completely. And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen
